UCSF Health is committed to providing the safest and highest quality care to patients. We measure our performance against our own rigorous standards and compare the outcomes of our care with top medical centers nationwide in our effort to continually improve the care we provide. We believe that sharing our results with the public is an obligation and a critical factor in our mission of continuous improvement.
Quality of Patient Care
At UCSF, we define optimal quality care as:
- Superior care and outcomes
- Outstanding patient safety
- Care delivered in a timely manner
- Fair, unbiased access to health care
Today, you have many choices for where you receive health care. We believe it is critical for medical centers to provide data on performance so patients and their families can make informed decisions about where they seek care.
